These coconut macaroons are gluten, dairy and refined sugar free, making them a perfect mid-morning or afternoon snack!
The chia seed jam is an amazing sugar-free alternative to regular jam. When you soak chia seeds they expand, and go all slimey and jelly like, giving it a jam texture.
Macaroons
200g of desiccated coconut
200 g of honey
3 tbsp of coconut milk
1 tsp of vanilla essence
3 tbsp of ground almonds
1 pinch of salt

Chia Jam
2 tbsp of chia seeds
200g of raspberries
1 tbsp of honey

1. Heat the coconut milk.
2. Place the honey, milk, vanilla, salt and chia seeds in a pan on a low heat and whisk well. Take off the heat and fold in the desiccated coconut and ground almonds until fully combined.
3. Roll them into balls and place them onto a tray lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then let cool.
